The main installation creates an uninstall that can be found in your DOD folder. Use the included pictures as reference for finding out what each component is BEFORE you install it. Use the check boxes to select which components you want to install. It will automatically find your DOD:S installation. Use the "Setup DODS Visual Upgrade Pack.exe" to install the main files. On the links page you will find many links for stuff like that if you are interested in looking further. There are many excellent works out there for DOD:S that did not fall under the guidelines I set for this pack. Hi-res textures, hi-poly custom models, skins that do not look similar to the defaults, bumpmaps for often-repeated map textures and models, class based player models - these things have been left out of the main installation file intentionally. All the skins are meant to keep the DOD:S look and feel while at the same time adding a lot more eye-candy and perhaps even a bit more realism. The goal of this add-on pack is to bring DOD:S to full life WITHOUT affecting performance very much, if at all. To be blunt, if your video card cannot handle the v_model textures un-mipmapped, you probably don't want to be using that video card to play DOD:S In my opinion this was an unnecessary precaution on their part since the impact on the overall system is pretty darn insignificant. Furthermore, Valve's practice of mipmapping all the first-person weapon model textures caused many video cards to blur out what were indeed very accurate and well-done skins. I personally was absolutely certain there was going to be an update to replace them. They were not on-par with other HL2 releases at that time. The models are some of the best I've ever seen, yet a few of the model skins (especially the player models) looked as though they were unfinished. ![]() ![]() ![]() When Day of Defeat: Source was first released, there were many people, like myself, who just couldn't help but feel the game had a "rushed" look to it. The DOD Underground is simply a reference to the collection of dedicated modelers, skinners, coders, sound engineers, mappers and even players that work outside the official Valve radar to improve the content of the game. Performance-wise, if your computer can run DOD:S, it can run this add-on pack. The only things added were normal map and phong shaders to the v_model weapon skins. NOTE: DO NOT INSTALL THE HUD (MOH2) IN THIS SET IT IS TOO OLD AND BUGGYĪll skins are the default sizes.
